St Mark's, Hamilton Terrace

Dating to 1846–1847, St Mark's was designed by Thomas Cundy with a spire built by his son in 1864, and is Grade II* listed with Historic England.

[3][4] Robinson Duckworth was appointed vicar of St Mark's in 1870, after spending four years as the tutor of Queen Victoria's youngest son Prince Leopold.

[6] St Mark's survived being hit by a bomb in 1941 during World War Two, with work to rebuild its spire being completed in 1955.

[7] The church was badly damaged by an unexplained fire during the late night and early morning of 26–27 January 2023.

[5] BBC News described the church as "destroyed", noting that the roof had collapsed but the steeple (rebuilt in 1955) was still standing.
